Abstract

A video-based indirect sensing procedure for dynamic identification purposes is presented. To overcome major limitations of video-based methods in real on-site measurements, a novel three step pre-modification, magnification, post-modification process is developed. This process includes revision of the initial input video record in order to delete disturbing objects, utilizing a magnification method to filter the frequency content of the monitored motion and using a revision step for elimination of noises generated during magnification process. Finally, a set of digital signal and image processing analyses are performed on the modified video using virtual visual sensor technology. Based on the results of this research, motion signals of the monitored object are detected. The proposed approach has been used for identification of dynamic characteristics of two historic masonry minarets in Istanbul. Results shows that the proposed procedure is able to assess the dynamic characteristics of the monitored structure with a high-level of accuracy.
